Learning College Principles

Four learning principles drive the learning college concept:

Evaluation
Evaluation guides every decision making process by asking the question, "How does this improve and support learning?"

Communication
We communicate expectations required at all levels of the institution by choosing common vocabulary, clear language, and open dialogue.

Collaboration
A shared vision for a learning and learner-centered college is cooperatively constructed by the institution, the community it serves, and the partners to whom the institution is accountable.

Responsibility
Learners are responsible for their learning.
